ABOUT US

Striving for independence is what it is all about for our adult students challenged with autism. We understand that specially trained staff with the heart and vision of our mission is essential to the success of our program. We strive to provide an environment that inspires creativity, encourages individuality and supports young adults affected by Autism to feel safe and free to express their thoughts, feelings and opinions and ultimately realize their dreams.

We understand that each person is unique and will require individualized programming to achieve their highest level of independent functioning. We provide integrated, personalize training and therapy programs within a campus-life community that teaches, trains, and coaches through an innovative multi-modality approach.
